department, passed June 5, 1870, was by /
general consent introduced out OF
order and passed the first, second and third |
reading, aud put on its final passage
Mr.. =. II. Bright was then introduced ana |
spoke for some time on the question of 10
tcrest due on the bonds held by jeremiah |
Hes. The Doint is this: lr 1881 Mr.. Hes /
bought some corporation bonds due sept. |
!, 1850. The money to take up these bonds |
was not in the treasury Oh Sept /, but on
Oct. !, 1885, il was there, and Il Il held that
he received notice to that effect.
However, the bonds we understand were
1855, while the money 10 pay the had
been in the corporation treasury since /
Oct. /, 1885. Now AIR. Hes cllims that he
sh ould receive interest on them for the
last year. The Council agreed to pay the
interest on them from Sept i, 80 to Oct l,
81, one month. This matter was before
the Council several times and was finally
referred TO the finance committee with
power TO act.
Mr. lies finally male q proposition to
compromise the matter by taking 50, the
interest on the bonds amounting To as for
one year.
The finance committee upon inyeStiga-
lion found that Mr.. lies had not received
any interest on his bonds fioEa Sept |, 81
10 sept /, 81, and ~ ithoUt saying anything
about the discovery agreed To pay the
amount claimed by Hes, that including the
amount OF the bonds and S1S interest on
he same. As this was the amount MI |
lies claimed was justly due him, he agreed
@ make that kind OF settlement. Aitef-
wards. however. when he discovered thHt
lie Interest Iucluded in amount Was not lor
ime from sent |, ln>l 10 sept l, 1856, Dut
rom Sept |, ISS} to Sept l, 1881, lie refused
% stand by his agreement and now claims
hat SIS is still due him.
Committee in their report on the matter
,ays: The finance COMMITTEES 10 whom
he matter o. payment OF jeremiah les
ponds Nas referred, beg leave 10 report aS
oIlows: 'sThnt we met j. lies and settled
With him in full for the sum ot sI5Sl %,
the agreement 10 pay SIS more when
I should be found that no order was out
tandinS for said sum. and Mr.. Hes agreed
O said settlement :" The report was az
epted by II unanimous vote.
it was afterwards found that tta orde:
eferred to had not been issued, ana that
he amount due is Sli62 30.
Ii is not at all likely that the Council
:ilI pay the S.S still claimed. The mem-
,eis claim that there Is no evidence to
how thai it was through anv blunder OF
he corporation the bonds wee not paid
let /, 1885 and for that reason do not feel
ound for the interest that acc.ued since
hat time.
On motion. adjourned.
